If you really want it, you should be able to enable it. No reason to do that with the other 90% who don't need it.

    So your argument now is just that it should be disabled by default?

    Regarding electricity: yes

    Regarding privacy: no, but my privacy views are based on what we have in Germany, where the feature might not be allowed at all.

    Does google photos have this feature in Germany like it does where I am?

    I feel like people are misunderstanding what this actually is. When you upload photos, it detects faces and lets you tag those faces with a name, and then you can just click on that person and it will show you all the photos you have of that person. That's it. It's not sharing them with anyone. Why on earth would that be not allowed?
